I'll be leading a Jane's Walk this weekend - Prioritizing Pedestrian Safety in Our Downtown. It will start at 10:30am this Sunday at the Gore Park fountain. Check out the map for where we'll be stopping and the poster for all of this year's walks. Hope you can make it! #HamOnt
Parked on sidewalk, called By-law, $80 ticket. @Ward2Hamilton could we see a motion to increase these fines like Toronto has done? ($150>$200). *Also park in bicycle lane ($33 in Hamilton. (Toronto it's $200).
If You Hate Density, Maybe Don’t Live in A City: youtu.be/LQCvIRfRgX0
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
Who’s pumped for Bike Day?! Check out these pictures from last year’s celebration at City Hall featuring a few City Councillors, yummy donuts, and happy riders! Let us know you’re coming by clicking the link in our bio!!! #bikedayhamilton24 @SmartCommuteHam
Again. Big fan of road design changes. But you can't design red lights to be followed without enforcement. I've seen many drivers start treating red lights like a suggestion, or a stop sign.

It’s not just drivers; @cityofhamilton does it, too! There is barely enough room to traverse this sidewalk on Main E, east of Ottawa N. 0m from a public school property. It’s so obvious that #HamiltonHatesPedestrians when council & Eng dept lets this stuff happen & persist.

The 2023 Cycling Year in Review report has been released! It includes bikeway installations and upgrades, bicycle parking statistics, results of the 2022 cordon count study, and highlights of some of our major upgrade projects in 2023. toronto.ca/wp-content/upl… #BikeTO
Honestly. I should just drive my car to work.
We are finally over the finish line in #HamOnt on the #VacantUnitTax with Council’s approval today of the new vacant unit tax by-law which aims to increase housing supply. Five years in the making since I first led on the issue in 2019.

SAVE THE DATE #HAMONT! 🚲@cyclehamont and @SmartCommuteHam have teamed up to bring you Bike Day on Thursday, June 6 at City Hall! Join us from 7:30-9:30am for treats, group rides, coffee, and more!🚲 #bikedayhamilton24 @SmartCommuteHam
Transit came up as a concern for youth in almost every group discussion and featured heavily during the feedback session. Youth told us that not having access to better transit is holding them back. Thanks for covering this Joey. #HamOnt thepublicrecord.ca/2024/04/youth-…
The cool thing about regional rail service rather than commuter rail is that people can be crossing over each other on the same train line. Yesterday I saw numerous people taking GO *into* Hamilton for Monster Jam, and others taking GO *out* to Toronto for TFC and the Jays.

(OK I realize this is probably not considered to be one of the signature elements of the project, but I think these lovely bike troughs leading to the bike shed might be my favourite design feature of the site!)
The sheer scale of redevelopment projects in London is hard to wrap your head around. This is the beautiful 42-acre Battersea Power Station redevelopment. At approx. $15 billion(!), it’s the equivalent of about 100 Hamilton waterfront redevelopments!

A recent attempt to intensify part of Stoney Creek was rejected based on its lack of transportation options. So as 🚗 dependency becomes an impediment to new housing, @jeffbeattie2014 should be acting aggressively to 📈 bike lane protection and connectivity. 👏 @AndreaHorwath

@the_transit_guy lmao do they think we want a 15 minute city that's enclosed in walls and you can't get out?
@fudokun7 They think literally 15 minute cities are surrounded by iron bars. I’m not kidding.
As a “15 minute city advocate”, you’ll drive 30 minutes by car, or however people choose do it in the thousands of neighborhoods that already operate as one. Hope that helps!
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.
Today, this country got a new transit line. I hope this is the first of many more, and I can’t wait to advocate alongside like minded people who all believe our communities deserve a greener and less car dependent future. 🥂

There's research on these unintended consequences. It's not overwhelming, but in my opinion it's enough to be hesitant about actively using policy to shift rentals to ownership: youtube.com/watch?v=BRqZBu…
